adel were on his way to carne-village.
after cixious had caught him, ainz, his father, told him to go back to work at carne-village immediately, ainz & albedo will handle this.
even have been told like that, but adel still worry about cixious. what will she think about this?
that made adel nervous not a little.
" haaa... ( sigh) ... trouble keeps coming these day..." he complained to himself while walking.
adel's mana is very low, so he can't use fly but walk instead.
it's a fact that carne-village isn't much far from nazarick, but if compares to adel's mana if he uses {fly}... no one want to fall from the sky while flying ,don't them?
however, adel could use his {aceleration} which is his passive in imp&human forms when he's running and doesn't require mana, to arrive at the village .
but now he didn't, because he's thinking about something, he's planning about something.
it's about Lupusregina-beta, his most want-to-stay away maid in the pleiades.
after what had happened to him these day, his fear in lupusregina grows much more than before.
" haaa... what should i do?... " adel said, " i wanted to ask father to replace her with shadow demon... but if i do that ...will it make she feel even worst about herself?..." adel said.
" ***inhales*** ...***** sighhhh****... i don't want to meet her... she's too scary for me... uhh... but i don't want to make her to get me wrong that i hate her..." adel complained.
lupusregina to him, is another beautiful woman, just like the other pleiades and the female guardians adel has known.
he didn't hate her, but if possible, he don't want to stay with her actually... but from adel's broken stats that is too much fighter... she somehow becomes adel's bodyguard which need to stay with him all the way.
" ohh?! " some idea just pops up in adel's head.
" wait a minute... why just i don't be the one who avoid meeting her?...ahaa! that's right! this is it! i just sneak in the village ... straight to nfirea office! then get my ass out of there and go home {nazarick} when it's evening immediately! this will be the most efficient way to avoid meeting her! i'm sure that beta-sama must be busy with her job { look after the village} too! "
.
.
.
.
" oh, it's the new kid! where have you been this afternoon?"
the goblin, who was standing at the security door "Kaijali" said.
" u...uh..aha ha... there's a little problem, kaijali-san " said adel.
" oh, i think it's not "little" that took you so long ... " kaijali said, " however, that woman, lupusregina was asking for you if you already arrive here or not... .. i don't know what made she interested in you so much but-"
" ahh... i'm so sorry kaijali-san. but seemed like i'm very busy right now, it will be my greatest thankful if you know where she is rightnow? so i could go see her"
adel asked kaijali for lupusregina's spot in this village rightnow, he lied to kaijali that he wanted to know her spot so he could easily go see her. his real purpose is to know her spot to "avoid" entering that area as much as he could.
" hmm... i don't sure , her spot isn't stable... but may be at commander's house"
" you mean enri-san?, kaijali-san?"
" hey! be polite with commander! "
" oh, okay. okay. i'm so sorry! " he said.
he then walked passed the door, got himself in the village.
" hmm... if i use {absolute invisibility} ... this must be really bad idea right now..." adel said, because it's still a day in carne village, the crowd of people are all active and doing their work all around adel.
so if they see adel use invisible infront of them... it will cause another big trouble.
so adel had no choice but to do real "sneak" to nfirea office.
( fuck... i forgot to use invisible before arrive at the village... if i go out now... kaijali-san will suspect in me... jeez, adel. why did you always forget a simple thing like this!) adel thought to himself.
( oh, i should looking for a blind spot and use invisible either! aha! that's right) adel thought.
he walked carefully left side and go straight near the forest, hoping not to spot a red-twin-tails hair maid .
the only thing that kept him not to enter a village forest is a wall. adel have a little of werewolf race like lupus, but not as much as her, but nevertheless.. adel understands that a werewolf races have a very fast nervous system, a little of a sound or smells could make them detected who's coming. so he must be very careful not to make her knows that he's here.
but suddenly,
" oh, there he is! there he is! that's the man you're looking for?! "
" oh, yeh! yeh!, that must be him "
" woah, he's looking so good.."
" see? i have told you! just look at how handsome he is! "
" come on! let's go ! you can do this! show me that your research on him is worth it"
adel noticed that 2 female-villagers are mentioning him in their conversation. they are wearing an average villager clothes like enri, and were coming to him.
( oh, shit... i must walk away and pretend that i'm so very busy that i didn't notice them)
adel was going to turn his face and walk away, but it's too late.
" O..oh..hiii! mister"
" ! " adel startled,
( Fuck! ) he thought. then turned his face back to them
" u...uh.. m..me?"
" yes, u..uh... m..may i know your name please..?" she said in flushes.
" u..uh, a..adel.. " he replied.
" oh...oh, adel-san.. that's a nice name ..u..uh..m..my name is rose... i..i know it's a bit too rude that you have been called by a strangers like me...b..but please trust me! adel-san... you are now so popular among the girls here... **a...ahem*** it may interrupted to a gentlemen like you.. b..but..."
adel noticed that her cheeks bright in red a little more, and so her friend, that made adel goosebumps.
" i...it's our culture adel-san...u..uh.. w..w...would you mind if i... if i invite you to have a dinner at my hou-"
" Oh, that's great - ~su, could you invite me too? "
" waaaahhh! " both woman screamed in shocked, the same as her friends, but the most shocked person among them was adel.
because "lupusregina beta" appeared behind those woman, and now her hands were now holding their shoulders.
" kekeke~~ ara~ what happened? the more people the more fun right~~~? " lupusregina said to those 2, in a cheerful voice.
Before her voice changed to the other hand, in a cold...cold... emotionless and scary.., her facial ...her eyes changed from cheerful to... full of hatred.
her eyes use to be yellow, and fill with cheers but now... adel can't tell the different between her and a cold-blood-murderer.
he could sense a killing aura out of her body.
" If only you have enough brain cells to realize that adel-san is busy all day and don't care about your meaningless invitation" said lupus, in a cold voice. before she changed back in to the old lupus again.
those 2 reaction? they almost shit in their pants.
" soo~~~~ you two better walk away and go back to your business eh? , don't try to make him busy even MORE...- su~" she said.
" u...u...understood! a..a..adel-san! i..i'm so sorry for my interrupted! p..please forgive me! " the woman then bowed to him and walked away immediately, not waiting for him to make any reponse.
but he knows, why they looked so afraid like this... he understands why they walked away this fast. to escape from a were wolf maid infront of him, lupusregina-beta.
( oh..shit...SHIT! she must detected my&their sounds from animal instinct! fuck! ) adel thought.
" ah-ha~ adel-sama. glad you come back~ i've been waiting for you all along~ su~~"
adel tried his best to keep his cool, to control his emotion not to panic.
he must turn back to undead form immediately,
" ...h..happy... to hear that... but first let's...let's go back to nfirea office...b..beta-sama"
" It's LUPU! just called me Lupu! adel-sama! "
adel startled, but luckily she didn't notice it,
" a...a...alright, lupu..."
( *sighhh** ... it's over... i guess...) adel thought.
.
.
.
**** sound of the doors opened *****
****pffffff**** a sound of adel, placing his bag on the lab's table. in order to get his stuff out of it.
" ... "
" ... "
" u..uh... L...Lupu... you still here?"
" yes,adel-sama " she cofidently replied to adel, an adorable smile on her face may melts a man heart easily, but not with adel, because his fear in lupusregina is so much that distract adel from that smile.
" b...but it's b-b-b...better to leave me here and go do your work... isn't it? h..hah...ha-ha...i..remember that your duty is..t..too look after an overall of this village.. "
adel said, he laughed to cover his true emotion, he wondered why lupusregina didn't go out yet.
he tried not to think of what had happened to him these day and tried to do like nothing happened.
" that's correct, adel-sama. but looking after you is much more important, aha~~ don't worry about that adel-sama, the red-caps are already in their position, if anything goes wrong, they will immediately report me- su~"
" y..you took those red-caps? here?! "
" yes, - su~"
"... oh.. okay...and...uh... where you going to go then?" adel asked.
" no where but with you, adel-sama"
" ! heh? "
" i'm your guardian adel-sama.., and i'm so sorry adel-sama, for what everything i've done to you ... even you forgive me but there's not a day goes by i don't feel regret... so i swear that i... will protect you with my life" said lupus, her voice changed to a serious one. even she's foxy but this time adel could feel a sincerity in her voice.
( oh...no... oh, oh no no no! how did it end up like this?! fuckkkk! ) adel thought.
" hm,? what are you doing? adel-sama?" lupu asked.
" i...i...i'm opening a window, y-y ..you know? fresh air! aha-ha..." adel smiles, to hide his fear inside, he's opening a window as wide as he could,
( phew... atleast if she do anything suspicious... i can escape through this...) adel thought.
" a...u..uh, beta-sa-"
" LUpU! "
" O..O..Okay..{ **motion his hands like he gonna say Fine! fine!**} lupu, so.. what you gonna do? then?"
( if she's with me all day long, i must find some moment that she be careless... and i will get out of here!) adel thought.
" look at you working ,adel-sama~. is there anything wrong?"
( holyy shitttttt! there's no chance i can get away from her!) adel thought.
" u..uh, n.. nothing..." said spiritlessly by adel
" by the way, where's nfirea-san?" adel asked.
" i already told him that you've come. he will be here soon, adel-sama." lupusregina smiles.
.
.
.
" enfi, you think adel-sama would like this?"
enri showed nfirea a herb for cooking she had collected from a forest, she spent a lot of time with nfirea consider at it, to choose the best one.
" umm, i think that one is better" said nfirea.
" um... but that one gives a taste of spicy, you sure that adel-sama prefers spicy-food?" enri asked.
" uh... i don't know... even he's been working with me for 3 weeks but i don't know him that much... " , said nfirea, " do you ask beta-sama? she may know him better than us"
" *** sigh***, " enri sighed before continued her words.
" i already have, enfi. but seemed like lupusregina-san knows him better than us a little" said enri.
[ enri flash back]
" hmm, hm~ "
a sound of a village-girl, enri emmot.
she's now collecting a herbs from the forest behind carne-village, seemed like the herbs are the best ingredients to make a dish tastes better, she already prepared a meat, vegetables in the kitchen before she came here.
" hm~? en-chan, what' cha doing~? "
" wahhh! "
enri screamed in shocked, because she remembered that she only entered the forest alone, a sound from her back startled her.
and the only .. and Only person who always does this to her is no one but...
" L..Lupusregina-san!? " she called out a name of woman behind her.
" fufufu~" lupusregina grinned, " nice facial expression as always en-chan~~ hehe~ "
" so~, what are you doing? collecting some herbs? ehhh... and it's more than usual... ? what makes you came out of village and collect a bunch of them this much? " lupusregina asked.
" n.. nothing much, lupusregina-san. i think i will invite adel-sama for a dinner at my house-"
" Huh-? "
enri startled, because lupusregina immediately twisted her face since she heard that enri would invite adel for a dinner.
enri could see a blood-vein appeard on lupusregina's face next to her right eye-brow, like a pissed-off person, however, that didn't make her beauty drop any little.
" eh?.." enri started to scare, and she also confused, what did she do wrong?
" JuSt YoU aNd HiM? " lupusregina asked , her voice changed from cheerful to psychopath.
" hm?, n-no lupusregina-san, i also invite nfirea too, and... uh... those goblins either, oh, may be you could join us if possible, but.. umm... you always busy don't yo-"
" ahhh~~~, so many people eh?~ i know it en-chan, i'm just joking-su~ " lupusregina said with her voice came back to normal, that made enri confused, but however she would pretend that it never happened.
" well, as i'm his guardian, so~~ i would like to join your dinner too~ could you list my name in if adel-sama joins ?~~ i would be happy if en-chan won't forget me~~-su~"
" u..uh, okay..." enri said, while her hands took of a herb from the tree and put it in her bag.
" oh, uh... lupusregina-sama"
" yes~?"
" could i ask you a little bit more about adel-sama? i don't know what kind of dishes he prefers.." said enri.
" um... i don't see adel-sama care this sort of things... it could be anything maybe?, umm~... " lupusregina was now in hm-ming pose,
" ah... i don't want adel-sama to dissapoint in our village... u..uh, lupusregina-san ... do you know how adel-sama personality be like?" enri asked.
" heh~? why do you wanna know ?" lupusregina asked.
" i want to know him much more, so i could make myself appropriate when he's here" said enri.
" uhh, i see..." lupusregina said, " umm,... i think he's quiet but nice& very kind~... and uh, easygoing may be?-su~" said lupusregina.
" umm, but i think he's also charming too~ su." said lupusregina, she confidently explain it.
" um, i see...", enri said, " you know how adel-sama would be like if he's angry?" said enri, this is the most she afraid of. what if adel doesn't like her food? will he go furious?
suddenly, since enri asked this question, she saw lupusregina face turned to serious mode, like she's not joking... anymore.
" trust me, en-chan. ...you don't want to see it... "
cold and obvious replied from lupusregina, she stared at enri with no blinks shows that she's serious. that made enri flinched.
" ... " enri was afraid to ask more, however what she had learnt from lupusregina these day was don't ever make adel angry
.
.
.
[ cut back to present]
" uh, however. as i said before enfi, i wanted adel-sama to be here ... you know? when he's here ... lupusregina - san is much more polite than usual.. she's like on the other hand...but sadly, he comes here only at day."
" yeah, i agree with that too, uhh... adel-sama is awesome! he can absolutely control beta-sama ! " nfirea said.
" other wise, everything is much more comfortable, " nfirea said.
because before adel was born, when nfirea finishes his potion, he needs to give it to lupusregina and lupusregina will give it to ainz, plus she's lazy sometime... so it takes a long time for him to receive any comment or suggestion from ainz through lupusregina, and sometime she added up things in ainz comment in order to troll nfirea like.. " you're in trouble~~su~ hehehe~~ ainz-sama is really pissed off in your work~~ ahaha! i'm joking~"
or something like this.
but now, after adel was born, everything seemed a lot easier.
because when adel finishes his work with nfirea at carne village, he will go back to nazarick, and nfirea can give his new potion to adel instead of lupusregina, and that means he gives a potion directly to ainz. and adel will bring his father massage to him on the day after.
" um, i thinking about it all along.. enri, some how i think adel-sama is an opposite side of beta-san. " said nfirea, " i'm really jealous in him... he such a perfect guy... like lord ainz ahh~ so this is what it's called like father like son? isn't it?" said nfirea.
" yeah~ , speaking of which, i could look for lupusregina-san extrememely easier than before, all i just do is to find adel-sama, if i found him, that means i found her too," said enri.
adel is truely different from lupusregina like what they said but only to this village.
adel love this village, people here are friendly.
he don't want anything to do harm or invade carne-village or can tell in the other way that choosing carne-village to be adel's working place is indeed a wise choice ainz had made, like an idioms they said " kill 2 birds with one stone ", because if you consider carefully, carne-village have with up to 2 guardians, lupusregina and adel. or could infer in a short way that adel simultaneously be a worker and another guardian for this village. however, if ainz orders him to abandon or destroy carne-village, he will do it without hesitate.
because to him, his father's order is absolute.
suddenly there's someone knock the door outside enri's house.
" heh? who's that?"
" i'll look for it" nfirea said while walking to the door.
he opened the door and saw someone, his body is green,it's...
" Jugem-san?"
jugem is a leader of enri's goblin army.
" oh, hello brother, luckily, you're here" said jugem.
" eh? what is it?"
" lupusregina is calling for you, brother. she said he was here"
" he?... you mean adel-sam- adel-san?"
" yeah, yeah. that new kid"
" jugem-san, i beg you not to call him new kid, please...j.. just adel-san"
" why, brother?"
"... u.. uh... never ..mind jugem-san... i will go now"
" u...umu, " said jugem.
.
.
.
( please, please, please, please! nfirea-san, COME ON! come here already! i almost going to lose my minds! )
adel was now holding a potion in his hands and mix it with the other, just a science stuff, but the problem was, even he's now in undead form but staying with lupusregina who's now standing staring at adel over there, made him feel extremely uncomfortable, he wants to run away from there.
( why is this more like i'm prisoners and she's warder? ) adel thought.
" adel-sama..." lupusregina asked.
" ! " ,adel startled, " y..yeah?"
" don't you feel hot..? i mean... i saw you stay near the window all the time, is there anything wrong?" she said, lupusregina was going to walk to him to check if there's anything wrong.
" NO! " adel accidentally shouted out in fear.
" heh?" lupisregina stopped immediately.
" no, i.. i mean... uh... don't come near me, lupu. because there is a very very... dangerous chemical over here, i'm afraid that it will hurt you.. aha-ha-ha..."
" ahh... " lupusrgeina eyes went windened , " i'm thankful for your mercy that worrying about me adel-sama. but don't worry adel-sama, i'm cleric , i can heal myself and you too~-su~, Oh?! and it's a danger chemical isn't it, then i must keep my eyes on you even more adel-sama! " lupusregina said in cheerful voice, she made an adorable smiles again.
( Fuckkkkkk! what have i just done?!
i locked myself up?! FUCKKKKKkKK! ) adel thought.
suddenly someone opened the door,
like a god's mercy, finally a third person arrived.
that made adel felt extremely relieve.
it could be anyone, but just don't let him stay with lupusregina alone.
" nfi-chan~... ahh~ finally you've come~-su~"
" y..yes..beta-sama., oh, welcome back adel-sama" nfirea said.
" ah..ah.. yes, nfirea-san..." adel said
( Finally, ... Finally! ) adel thought.
[ while working ]
" u..uh...a..adel-sama..." nfirra said.
not only adel turned his skeleton face at him but lupusregina too.
" yeah?"
" uh, w..w..would you mind joining our dinner at enri's house tonight?"
" hm..," adel is now considering.
" i will ask father for a permission first, nfirea-san" adel said
" oh, o...okay..."
" {message} "
" adel-sama, what are you doing?"
nfirea asked, because he noticed adel laid down a potion and put his 2 fingers on his skull at his ear spot
" heh?... what a weird question you asked nfirea-san, i'm contacting father for a permission! " adel normally replied.
" Heeeeeehhhhh?! " nfirea shocked.
" i...im...immediately?... right now?! adel-sama?! " nfirea shouted in shocked.
" yeah,? why?" adel asked,
" N..N...n...i...i uh... y...you don't need to do right..now! adel-sama! i-i-i.."
" oh, hello ... father " adel didn't reply to nfirea, but he replied to someone on his call, it's ainz Ooal gown.
" Wahhh!? " nfirea almost going to lose his mind, he's impatient rightnow.
" um-hm, um-hmm... yeah, uh... about uh... ***turned his face to nfirea and whispered to him*** when will a dinner start nfirea-san?"
" uh...ua...ar...ahh..." nfirea ran out of his word, this is too sudden for him.
" about 18:30 adel-sama~ " lupusregina was the one who replied instead, because she asked enri about this before adel came here.
" about 18:30 father,... uh-huh...okay, ... umu... i'm thankful, for allowing me, father... bye bye~" said adel.
" okay, nfirea-san." adel said,
" nfirea-san?... nfirea-san? " adel repeated his name again and again, because now, nfirea went absended-mind.
.
.
.
[ time skipped to the evening]
" hahh~... finally it has done in time, thanks for today adel-sama~" nfirea said.
" umu, you too nfirea-san" he replied.
" eh... by the way... u..uh... lupu... i saw you standing here all day... you must be tired now... u...uh, you bette-"
" Never, adel-sama~~ , this is a peice of cake-su~~~ " she said.
" oh...okay... u..uh.. you've already finish those 40,000 words?" adel asked
" yes, adel-sama~ " lupusregina smiles.
" adel-sama, what 40,000 words?" nfirea asked.
" uh, a little uh... of her work, nfirea-san.. " adel replied.
he didn't tell nfirea the truth that lupusregina beta had been punished my him { more like by yuri } because he afraid that lupusregina would be at shame if he told nfirea that she had been trying to rape him.
thanks for the door that time, so nfirea didn't see what had happened in the room, because when nfirea had arrived, yuri alpha already took her werewolf sister out of adel and yuri alpha had begged nfirea for not talking about this again, so nfirea must pretend that it never happens.
" adel-sama, i will go prepare a meal at enri's house first..w..w..we will do the fastest as possible! " nfirea said.
" oh, don't need to be hurry nfirea-san. it's only 16:00 ... **look at a clock on his wrist** i could eat anything, actually... don't worry" adel said.
nfirea didn't ask adel what kind of taste he prefers most, because nfirea think it is discourteous things.
" um, there's a time left for a while...ummm... i think i will go out for some fresh air ... " adel said,
" as you wish, adel-sama~" lupusregina immediately opened an office door.
" o..oh... thank you beta-sama"
" it's LUPU! "
" o..okay! l..lupu..." he said,
" uh, would you mind if i go out walking around your village? nfirea-san?" adel asked
" no problem adel-sama, do as you wish! " he said.
" thank you, nfirea-san"
adel walked outside of nfirea house, even it's only 16:00 but adel could predict that it will be sunset in the other 40-50 minutes atleast, because the sky started to become yellow
like the other person eyes, who's now following him,...wait... following him?
adel turned back his face, he felt that someone was following him out of nfirea-office.
" l...lupusregina-sama?! " adel startled as he noticed that lupusregina was the one who followed him.
" Adel-sama! just call me Lupu~! " she said.
" a..alright... **sigh** i always forget it...i'm so sorry... anyway...uh... where are you going?" adel asked.
( oh, fuck... even i know an answer already...b..but there must be a chance that she may split up to do her business... t...there's a chance... ssss there's a chance... ) adel thought.
" With you~~~ adel-sama~~~ " she confidently said, and made a beauty smiles on her face.
( Fuckkkkkk! the probability is 0% ! ITS FUCKING 0% ! she already becomes my shadow doesn't she?! will she still follow me if i go to toilet?! ) adel thought.
" hm? adel-sama, is there anything wrong?" she asked
" u...uh, **ahem** nothing." adel said.
( there's no escape from this..***sniff***, i have completely become a prisoner? **sniff** ) adel cried dramatically in his thought.
suddenly, he noticed there're still a bow shooting practicing over there, it's the same place he joined in chapter 1.
" adel-sama? where are you going?" she asked.
" over there" adel pointed out his finger, to a crowd of people.
" heh..? adel-sama interests in their boring activity~? ... i don't see if there's any attraction? it's like you play with the kids adel-sama...they're practicing their useless training ~su~ " she said.
" well, you could leave me here if yo-"
" No, way! adel-sama! ~! as i said i'm your guardian! so i must look after you! " said lupus.
" o..okay..." he said.
" oii, new kid? what's up! it's rarely that you come out of your office this evening " kaijali { one of enri's goblins} said after he noticed adel,
" ahaha... sometimes i want some fresh air kaijali-san" adel politely replied.
there'a short red hair woman, were practicing next to kaijali. seemed like she just realized that someone was here, so she turned her face to him.
an appearance of adel made her stunned, like she's been attracted to stare at adel by some reason.
" o...oh..my...god... t..this...is ... him?"
BRITA, an ex-adventurer groaned, this reminds her of a first time she's met lupusregina beta.
brita stared at adel with no blinks, adel really made her shocked,
" i..is this an illusion..? " brita said to herself.
What brita saw was a stunning handsome from a man in a suit, with blue lines cross over and over, making a magnificent pattern. and his eyes are yellow bright like an eye of demon, however brita couldn't tell if he is a human or not,
People often speak of the colour of eyes, as if that were of importance, yet his would be beautiful in any shade. From them comes an intensity, an honesty, a gentleness. Perhaps this is what is meant by a gentleman, not one of weakness or trite politeness, but one of great spirit and noble ways.
brita finally understands why adel is so popular among the village-girls, even the most population here is goblins and Orges.
and as the other said, he looked educated, and charming at the same time.
suddenly, kaijali noticed someone behind adel, and it really made him startled.
" e...heh?! lupusregina!? "
yes, this is it. kaijali was shocked that the most dangerous person in this village, lupusregina-beta also here.
(woah...)brita groaned out in her mind, the maid appearance is as beauty as always.
but what made her stunned the most was that either a man in a suit or the red two braids maid looked so harmonious by standing next to each other, their appearance are in the same level and standards, and the maid is as tall as him...
" yoo~~~ long time no see~~ bri-chan~" said lupus, as if she noticed that brita mind went blank.
" Oh...oh, hello! lupusregina-san... t..this man is? " she asked, even she already known in her mind, but she just wanted to make sure.
" aahh~ i see why did you look so stunned bri-chan~ " lupusregina said while her right arm goes around adel's neck, and pull him closer to her, like she wanted to show brita that adel is her best friends.
" his name is adel-san~~, ' pretty sure this is the first time you meet him isn't it~? "she said.
" y..yeah, " brita replied.
adel immediately took lupusregina arms out of his neck,
adel tried his best not to express a fear out of his face... a thoughts of guardian-changing came up in his mind again, but adel realized, he shouldn't bring his personal problems into work. in fact, having lupusregina who's a healing cleric as his bodyguard wasn't the bad idea and she didn't do anything wrong, it was only adel who afraid of her.
" nice to meet you, brita-san" adel immediately got out of her and reached his left hand out to brita.
" o..oh.n...nice to meet you too " brita reached her hand out too, hand-shaking it is.
brita felt that even adel left hand was covered with his glove, but it was like she's grabbing a metal hands or somthing.
" s..so you're that person who breaks a record heh?" brita asked, she's mentioning about adel joined a training in chapter 1.
" y.. yeah brita-san, it's pretty hard ***chuckles*** so... how is it nowadays? does my record already been broken?" adel asked.
" Nah... i'm afraid not...everyone had tried ... but ...**sigh** . It is impossible to make it in 3 shots! anyway, how could you do it? you have any techniques? " brita asked.
" hm... let see uh..., maybe it depends on shooter physical advantages? " adel said.
because his left arm is entire metal, { automaton arm like Cz} when he's aiming, he uses his left hands to hold a weapon so there's no shaking and that will be why.
" could i take a look at your bow? brita-san?" adel asked.
" u... umu." she reached out her bow to him.
" umm..." adel was considering, he swinged the bow to left and right, then slapped on it 2-3 times,
( what is he doing?) brita thought.
" i think your bow is too light, brita-san" adel said.
"e..eh?! t..too light?! " brita confused.
but before she's about to ask more, adel said something.
" { intense gravity} "
" alright, now. try it again brita-san" adel said, he reached back brita her bow.
brita received to, but then...
" ! wah! " brita groaned in surprised, because her bow was somehow got heavier than before.
she almost going to let her bow fell off her arms too.
( what did he just do to my bow?! ) brita thought.
" comeon! do it! brita-san" adel repeated.
"... u..umu..."
she slowly aimed her bow at the target mark, she couldn't denied the fact that it was harder to stay still and shoot it out.
" ek..." brita couldn't make it, she couldn't even aimed at a target, it is too heavy.
but then something happened.
" ! " brita shocked, because adel surprisingly grabbed her arms from behind and pull it up.
" like.. this..." adel said, " alright, stay still brita-san"
" Now... Shoot! "
Pewwwwwwwww... ( a sound of arrow travelling )
adel immediately draw back his hands, waiting to see the result.
Pkkkkkk! ( sound of arrow hitting target mark)
kaijali walked to the target mark, then took it out to see where did it hit?
" ! " brita shocked again, in the results.
even her arrow didn't 100% hit at target's center, but it is next to a red dot in the middle for 4-5 centimeters only!
( ! egk... w...who this guy really is..?! ) brita stunned.
( he is really a pharmacist?! ) she thought.
" adel...a...adel-san...o...only looked at my bow and solve my very long time...p..problem in a second.." brita groaned, she then turned her face to adel, "..y...y..you could easily be a platimun adventurer..." she said.
" ahaha... not that much brita-san, besides i prefer living in a peaceful places ..more than go out fighting with the others..." adel smiled.
" jeez, new kid. seriously, are you really a pharmacist? " kaijali asked.
" sure thing, kaijali-san" adel replied.
" adel-san.. but pharmacist be good at this sort of thing? is it a little weir-"
" ara~ aaaara~ you ask him enough question-su~ bri-chan" lupusregina immediately cut her words.
" adel-san~ let's keep going to the other place~ -su~~ " she said,
" oh...o..okay..." adel replied.
" hey, new kid. before you go..." kaijali said.
both adel and lupusregina turned back their faces to kaijali.
kaijali then grabbed adel right hand, and pull him out of lupusregina beta,
lupus saw that and was going to grab another of adel's hand, not to let kaijali took him away from her. but adel stopped her from doing that by push his left hand forward meaning that it's fine.
kaijali dragged adel out of lupusregina and brita leaving them in confusion.
" oi, oi... new kid" kaijali arm went around adel's neck, pushing him closer.
" y...yes? kaijali-san"
" i suggest you better not to stay closer to that damn woman... okay? she's extremely dangerous.. " kaijali said.
even adel felt little anger deep down in his head because kaijali just called her " damn woman", but however he agreed with kaijali. or could tell in the other way that if adel were a snapchat users he would probably replied kaijali like " LMAOO TRUE As fuck "
" i've tried kaijali-san..." adel said it spiritlessly,
( even i will never have that chance...) adel thought.
he then accidentally sighed, kaijali noticed that and slapped adel's showder like he wanted to console him.
" umu, good. try to get away from her as far as you could... new kid, for your own safety "
" u...understood, kaijali-san..." adel replied while cried in his mind so damn pathetic.
kaijali and adel returned to lupusregina and brita.
" what are you talking about~~?" lupusregina asked.
" n...noting much beta-sama, just a men-to-men things..." adel replied.
kaijali and brita watched those 2 walked away.
"... hm? kaijali, what happened? why you looked so serious?" brita asked.
" hm... that woman always be with the new kid... i wonder what she will do to him" kaijali said, because before adel was born, kaijali already didn't trust in lupusregina, the same as others, The goblins are all wary of the maid, first because they can instinctively sense the danger lurking beneath her facade, and also because they can feel how strong she really is.
from kaijali perspective, seeing her with an innocent man { to him} like adel made kaijali nervous not a little.
" ***sigh*** but the real problem is that man " kaijali said like a high-strung person under stress, his voice sounds dead serious.
" eh?.. adel-san? " brita confused,
" umu," short replied from kaijali, goblins have better sense than human, they could sense if the person is dangerous or not.
" sometime i could sense... a very...very danger in him, but sometime it's not. it's very vague..and cryptic... " kaijali inhaled before continued his words , " i'm not sure if it's only my imagination or not at first... but when i asked my troops... they're all feel the same... he's different from her {lupusregina} ... i cannot predict his next act... i cannot read his eyes..." kaijali said.
" so you're meaning that..."
" umu, i don't really know if he's really good guy like onee-san { nfirea } or the same type as her { lupusregina} .. ... i don't even know if that smile on his face is actually a mask or not..." kajali said.
" ... " no replied from brita, since she's now thinking too, but she could feel a sincerity in adel's voice. it is impossible to act like that...
.
.
.
" ...umm... by the way beta-sama.."
" it's LUPU! **sigh** ~~ how many times i have to tell you - su?~"
" okay... uh...i..ah... i don't want to make you feel regret or something ... but ... uh... could you tell me..."
" hm?~"
" what had you put in my drinks this .. afternoon? " adel asked, because that still made him nervous.
" oh...u...uh..." lupusregina startled, like she just realized...that she really did it.
.
.
.
" Huh?!... n...nfirea-san's purple potion?! " adel yelled in shocked.
( oh...shit... she's scarier than i expect... ) adel thought.
" ah... i'm so sorry...adel-sama...! " lupusregina bowed,
" oi! hey! i just asked, beta-sa...lupu! no need to bow me! please lifted your head up! remember! we're out side! " adel whispered.
" oh,... p..please forgive me..." she said.
" n...no problem..." adel said.
( ah... luckily for me... that i listened to entoma-sama this morning...) adel thought.
[ adel flashback to this morning]
he's preparing things in his room,
" hm..." he's considering at his flashbang thinking if he's going to destroy it or not, because it is too dangerous to use.
but suddenly,
knock! knock!
someone knocked the door from the outside.
" hm?" adel then walked to the door, he opened it.
" oh, good morning entoma-sama! " he greeted entoma, who's brought him a breakfast.
if compared their height to each other, entoma was like a 14 years old kids standing to 20 years old man, because adel is as tall as yuri, lupusregina and solution that made entoma feels small sometime.
besides, adel loved to tease this bug maid, but in a polite way. since she's adel's second closest friends, first is yuri alpha, so adel dares to troll her, he thinks her reaction is pretty cute.
adel then received his breakfast from her,
" what are you doing? adel-sama?" entoma asked.
" oh, *** chews a strawberry*** , little stuff entoma-sama, i've been busy all the night" he said.
" take some rest, adel-sama..." she said in worry.
" umu, thanks. oh, ... can i disguise as you when i go out this day? "
" sure, adel-sama. you could do as you want" entoma said, " eh... but i usually see you use so-chan ..? why do you change it?" she asked.
" **sigh**, yesterday i almost got caught while sneaking in nazarick... it's very hard not to use my own invisibility...because Omega-sama may detected it..." adel said, he looked tired.
in addition, adel's daily life in nazarick isn't really far from a meaning of the word "smuggler", he doesn't have any idea why Omega aureole could detect his invisibility, because no one, and nothing could detect [ absolute invisibility].
but finally adel got his answer, Omega aureole didn't detect him, but she instinctly " feel " that someone is coming in nazarick, strange isn't it?
" i think i should talk to father and brother about this... may be i should be intoduced as a new worker, entoma-sama. but the problem is .." How" ..." adel said.
as you know, in chapter 3. everyone in nazarick who didn't know who adel is, remember him as a invader who came in nazarick without permission, they could remember his face, and also his dress-up.
" umm... adel-sama, ... why not use your human form instead?" entoma asked, even she wears a mask but her voice reminds adel a confused person, he could see her eye brows {which she doesn't have} be like " _/ \_ "
" wahh...~ i can't...~ because someone over here may eat me if i do that... she probably eat my left hand since it's the most delicious part i ..." adel said, while grinning.
" aaaaaaahh ! adel-sama! please stop it, don't make me cringe of myself! " entoma yelled in a cute shame tone of voice,
entoma hit her insect fist at adel chest, if she were human, she would probably be at shame
entoma reaction after being trolled is cute, and adel loves that.
" ahaha, i'm joking! entoma-sama, ahahaha~" adel laughed.
he grabbed entoma hands softly, in order to make her stop hit him.
imagine if entoma were adel's guardian? he would have troll her all day.
" the real reason is, umm... i think my human form doesn't look so different from an imp... and they may recognize..." adel explained.
it's hard to reject in the fact that adel couldn't use his undead form infront of everyone, because they will 100% think that he has something relate to ainz, for sure. because adel in undead form is almost look like ainz, only horns and no scars under his undead eyes made his appearance in this form different from his father.
" um... could i take a look at it? adel-sama, your human face without that scary make-up..." entoma lower her voice since she mentioned about the boogeyman's make-up, because she really scares when adel use it.
" a...ah..b..b...better not to! entoma-sama...i..i-uh...i... uh, it's really the same face! i swear! entoma-sama! " adel said.
"..." entoma stared at adel, seeing him acted guiltily and looked very impatient made her suspect in his act.
" adel-sama... have you washed a make-up off your face...?" she asked,
" ! " adel startled, like entoma already caught him,
.
.
.
" ahahhahahahahhaha~~~! " entoma laughed,
" stop it! entoma-sama! i really couldn't take it out! " adel said.
" Kekekekekekeke~~ ahaha ***sniff** it's ... pffff... keke" entoma laughed even more, now the table have turned, adel was the one being laughed at by entoma.
it's rarely for entoma to laugh, but she dare doing it, if it's her sister or adel.
" so ... adel-sama could painted your face but you couldn't wash it off? ahaha~! " entoma continuied laughing.
" ... " no replied from adel, he felt extremely small right now.
" y...yeah,...f...for some how... it sticks at my face..." adel said.
" ahehehe...kekeke..ahaha~"
" enough ! entoma-sama! " adel yelled,
" oh...**wheezed** i'm sorry adel-sama"
" by the way... what is this?"
adel then picked up a yellow potion that was added to his breakfast too.
" oh, that" entoma said, " yuri-nee sama told me that you must drink it for today adel-sama" she replied.
" heh? why?"
" i don't know either, but yuri-nee sama voice so serious when she told me" entoma said.
" oh...um.. okay..."
.
.
.
[ cut back to present]
( after that... i had checked that potion what it was... then i found that it was a resistant potion... it could protect me from something like status
abnormality... so this is why my body didn't take effect from that purple potion... oh... thanks yuri-sama! you owned me! ) he thought.
[ time skipped to evening]
thr goblins, were sitting on the dining table, enjoying their meals outside enri's house, the table was the same as saw in anime { overlord ss3 episode 2 }
" here, agu" enri reached out a dish full of many food in it to "agu" { that goblin kid?}
" t...thank you nee-san" agu replied.
not only enri needs to take care of the goblins but also the orges in the warehouse too, luckily she already dealt with them before came here.
sudddenly,
" oi, enri-san"
" oh,? adel-sama! " enri noticed the man walking to her, it's adel.
" where's lupisregina-san?" enri asked, because she saw only adel, but where is his bodyguard? where did she go?
" she said she needs to go survey this area a while, she will be right back in a minute, i guess it's one of her job too" adel said.
" oh, i see..." enri said, " anyway, adel-sama... i had tried my best prepared a special seat for you... b..but... but enfi said just only a normal seat... i..i'm so sorry for taking you to join with the gobs..." she trembled, and almost going to bow adel but he immediately lifted her shoulder up.
" n... no need to worry! enri-san! it's okay for me by that, i don't mind! " adel said
( ah... as i expect nfirea-san... no need to tell and you already know what to do! i like this man) adel thought.
because enri almost gonna prepared a special seat for adel, to make it appropriate to him. but if she really did that, it will make the others noticed why adel being treat so special?
nfirea knows this well so he stopped enri from preparing a special seat for adel.
"what would you like to drink? adel-sama? herbal water or fruit water? oh, There's black grass tea too" enri asked,
" umm... i would like...a-uh... uh... water... just..just a glass of water" adel said.
( would she think that i'm arrogant?... i don't know what those are... ) adel thought.
" oh... okay...u..understood" she replied.
enri then walked out of him in order to get adel a glass of water.
( alright, fuuuu..i can do this! just remember adel! don't make yourself so outstanding! you don't want to be suspect do you! ")
adel encouraged himself, as the same time as lupusregina came out from no where behind him.
" Jaaaaa~~~! adel-san~! i'm back- su~ you miss m-"
" Wah! " adel shocked.
WHAM!
" Kyaaaaa! " lupusregina screamed, infront of everyone, the goblins and some people overthere were now staring at both of them, because adel just turned back, grabbed her head, and slammed it on the dinning table, he did it involuntarily or could tell in the other way that adel just slammed lupu's face to the table because he's just appalled.
adel then realized,
" Oh shit! lupusregina-san!? i...i...i'm so sorry! " adel grabbed her shoulder and pulled her up from the table.
" lupusregina-san! i thought my heart would jumped out of my chest! " adel said
by slammed a 59 lv. tank-cleric maid on the rustic wooden table, couldn't do any damage do her, lupusregina don't even feel any pain, it just a sound that makes everyone thinks that she must be extremely hurt, on the other hand, she didn't even feel anything, it just like her face only touches with the table.
but what makes adel very nervous and go impatient was a spot he slammed her on was a food plate, that's it... a food on a plate now were sticking on lupusregina-beta face, her beauty face was all covered with a white sauce and had a small peice of meat on her cheeks.
" ! OHLY SHITTTTTT { allowed to insert joseph joestar voice but better not to} L..L..LUPUSREGINA-SAMA I...I EXTREMELY SORRY! "
adel was now holding lupusregina shoulder.
( Oh...no-no-no-NO! what have i done?! fuck! i just fuckin slammed her on this table! oh...no... what excuses i should make?! no... there's no excuse for this! wait... THE OTHERS ! Whyyy?! Why did this happen to me! adel you scumbags! not only you slammed her but infront of everyone! it's over! it's now over! ) adel thought, he couldn't dare looking at anyone right now, like this world only have him alone, his mind went blank.
(it's over... now everyone must be suspect in me... and what about lupusregina?! she must be angry at me... how was i suppose to do now?!. ) adel thought, his heart beat got intensed,
but something happen.
" uff..."
adel heard an "uff" sound coming from the goblins, like a person who try his best to hold back his laugh.
" *****wheezed*****"
adel heard it again, but this time was a wheezed sound, where did it come from?
" Ahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahh"
seemed like someone couldn't make it, he couldn't hold back his laugh, and from there, followed by a whole gang of goblins laughing at lupusregina beta.
" eh? " adel confused.
" ahahahhaha! ***wheezed*** and finally she got what she desreves most haaaaa! hahaha" kaijali & goblin gang, laughed extremely satisfying, like they've been waiting for this all along... like they've been waiting for a day that she got paid back.
( eh...?)
adel confused even more, he thought that the dining table would remain silent and everyone will stare at him ironically.
he didn't expect this... the result was very different from his thoughts
" wahh! " adel yelled, like he just realized something, yes that's it,
( Wahh! i focused too much on the crowd that forgot lupusregina-sama! ) he thought,
lupusregina wipped the food out of her face, luckily, just only her face that was soiled and spotted. her maid-uniform and her black wool hat [ i don't know what to call it..] was still clean.
adel put his hands together, like a prayer. and then immediately bowed down his head to her, his head only 20 cm. far from the ground
[ like a japanese begging for forgiveness pose as you see on TV]
" L...LUPUSREGINA-SAMA! I'm so sorry! i didn't intend to ! please forgive me! " he said.
he didn't even dare lift his head up, he's so shame, and guilty for what he had done.
( she must be really ... really angry... how could i calm her do-)
adel didn't finish his thoughts, but then lupusregina grabbed his shoulder meaning she wanted him to lift his head up.
"...a...a..." adel slowly gazed his eyes at her face to see how is she right now? does she angry...?
" ... eh..." adel surprised,
what he saw was clueless face of the werewolf maid,
even there's little vegetables on her face but that didn't make her beauty dropped any little.
lupusregina took out a vegetables out of her face, she's so chill. adel didn't see any expression from her that she's hurt.
" auuuu...~ you don't need to be this rude- su~" she said in a chill voice.
" ahh...a... i'm sorry! " adel bowed his head down again.
" wahhhh~~... my head hurts! ~~ what am i going to do...~~~ ahhh" she said, even adel felt that she's lying and just trolling him? but however... he ignored his thoughts,
" oh, my..." he immediately touched at her head, to check if she's fine or not?
" Fugyaaaaa~~~!" lupusregina exploded a laugh out of her mouth,
" Kekekkekekeke~~ hahahaha~! i'm joking~-su~! ahahaaa~~~~ you're reaction is so funny~ su~~~~~ haaaaaa~!hahaha" she laughed., this was the first time she dares to tease adel, however... it may be because they were infront of everyone, so lupusregina needs to pretend that adel is one of an outsiders, not to let the other suspect.
lupusregina then stood up.
" i will go washing my face~ -su~ " she said, then she walked out of the dining table to the back of enri's house,
"a ...ah..." adel ran out of words, he's stunned.
" woah... new kid, even you did a great job~ ahaha! but looks like you're in a trouble now! " kaijali said,
" ah... i agreed ... kaijali-san..." adel said, before follwed lupusregina, he felt that he must show his responsible for this, he just accidentally hurt one of his farher's servants...
.
.
.
" i'm so sorry... lupusregina-sama..." adel bowed his head again,
in addition,he couldn't remember how many of the word "sorry" he had said to her.
" It's LUPU! " she yelled, she already washed her face, and was now rubbing her face with a napkin.
" a..alright..." adel said.
" it's fine, adel-sama~... i'm okay... you know, those slamming couldn't do any harm to me - su~... oh... and i really sorry for joking on you adel-sama..." she said, she finally finished washing her face, her face was now cleared.
" that's okay, beta-s- lupu. i know you have to pretend like i'm like one of them" he said,
compared to the pleiades, if adel goes out on his mission outside nazarick, he prefers to choose solution-epsilon as his workmate ( if cut out the fact that adel is scared of solution)
because they're both assassins, and assassins know how to act, so in that case, solution would be the most person who dares treat adel like a normal person, or even dares to act like she's his master, because they both understand that it just a work.
.
.
.
finally both adel and lupusregina came back to the dinning table.
( ah... the problems somehow... being cleared... i don't know how... either ***sigh*** but what is this?... isn't my objective was not to be outstanding?...huuuuuh SO BAD! i'm the worst! ) adel thought.
" adel-sama, please forgive for my rudeness... but could i go look around here for minute?" lupusregina who's walking next to him said.
" eh-? why?"
" i sense... someone's watching you... adel-sama.. i probably going to~ talk to her for a bit..."
" hm?... " adel considered, finally his {animal instinct} felt the same as her, someone really observed him around here. but wait...
" wait... "her?" ..."
" yes, adel-sama... they're all woman"
" umu... "they?"... okay... take care.. lupusregina-sama, it would probably be an-enemy.. if something suspicious happens, use an explosion, or shoot something very bright up in to the sky, so i could see it and comes to assist you, OKay?" adel said.
" ah~...adel-sama, i'm very thankful for your caring." she said.
"umu.." he replied.
.
.
.
adel came back from taking lupusregina to wash her face, but what he had noticed was everyone still staring at him, that made adel felt a pressure. adel sit down, the same table with kaijali, the goblins.
" u...uh...k..kaijali-san...w..what's wrong?" he asked.
" you're in trouble, new kid. Really Big Fucking trouble" kaijali said, but now his voice sounds different, it's like a very serious person.
" why?... because i slammed the head of ainz-Ooal gown maid, on this table?"
" yeah, that would be why." kaijali confidently replied, while drinking a cup of juice.
" she will take a revenge on you, soon. new kid. like i have said to you, get away from her as far as you could... for yourself" kaijali said.
" b.. but he could slammed her on a table, does that mean he's as strong as her?" cona asked.
cona is one of enri's goblins army too, and yes, he's a goblin who have a skull of animal on his head, because he's a cleric, a class that adel doesn't prefer to stay with.
adel is not associate with cleric that much, if he could he would stay away from them, because most of the cleric believes in Gods, some super-natural phenomenom, the end of the world, destiny, Heaven-hell, etc.
as you know, this kind of things to adel, is ridiculous, non-sense and illogical, nevertheless adel excepts lupusregina beta and a others cleric from Nazarick.
" that must be coincidence~ ! cona-san! " adel said, " may be she's careless".
" but i don't think so..." cona gazed his eyes at adel, " she's strong, we all know that, and she wouldn't let you grabbed her head easily... the only way to do that is too be faster than her... so in this case..."
cona words make sense, plus adel was now in Imp form, well, he automatically been forced to use this form when he's at carne village. because his human form still has a make-up on it, which he can't take it off for some how,
adel could use undead form [which he mostly used] either, but only when he's with nfirea, enri, or lupus.
" ahh! i don't know either! okay? ... she may intend to let me do it! " adel said, that made cona suspected in him even more.
" intend? ohh-oh-oh, don't say anything ridiculous, people like lupusregina intends to let you slammed her head? that's the most impossible things ! "
by saying " ridiculous" to adel, that made him pissed off,
" Oh,yeah!? ridiculous,you said? ! like your god?" adel yelled,
" Huhhh?! " cona seemed to piss off too.
" what did you just say?! " cona yelled back, in fact he started to drunk because he drank to much before adel arrived at dining table.
" I SAID YOUR GOD, IS .. RIDICULOUS~! is that enough?! " adel mocked cona.
" Oi, Oi! you can't say that to God, he exists! a sinners like you wouldn't even deserved his mercy! "
" Oh, yeah-.? could you proof it?! huh? " adel yelled, both cona and adel started to make an agressive debate.
" Proof?! ohoho! let me ask this back, could you proof who could creates living things if its not god himself?! huh?" cona yelled back.
" You know evolution?! hahh?" adel said,
" Fight me! you punks! " cona stood up, the same as adel, they both looking at each other in the eye.
" enough! cona-san!.. adel-san! "
the third voice coming from nfirea, that made everyone on adel's table turned their face back to him.
" oh, i'm so sorry, nfirea-san, i just... forgot myself... please forgive my uncivilized action" said adel, he bowed to nfirea and sit down.
" M...me too, brother" cona sit down too.
" if it happened again, i will tell enri about this! " nfirea said to both adel and cona, but looked cona was the only one frightened at this.
.
.
.
[ mean while]
" hm... it must be from here, i sense it...~" lupusregina was using {invisibility} and flying around the village by {fly}
suddenly she saw a group of woman, running away from something, they have 4-5 people.
" aha~ Found it~" she immediately rushed to the group of woman.
they were running , their face looked so scared.
suddenly they stopped, because the were wolf maid with red braids landing on the ground and came out of invisible infront of them.
" ! l...lupusregina-san?! " they yelled, and shocked too.
" yoo~~~ i saw you were running like a coward suu~~ what do you do here?~~~ it's danger outside in the night ya'know~? may be a monster could eat you~~~ su~" she said.
" ...a...ah..."
.
.
.
.
" heh?! you were running from adel-san~~?! " lupusregina confused,
" y..y..yeah, w...we come to..just... we just want to see him... h...he's cu-"
" So, It ReAlLy YOu gIrLs eH?"
" hg..." the group of woman gulped,
because lupusregina cheerful voice changed from a cheerful girl to a fierce beast atmosphere around them changed to a very serious... conversation, they could feel a pressure and killing aura from the maid.
" w...we're so sorry! lupusregina-san! b..but...we can't-"
" HaS aNyOnE ToLd YoU NoT To StALK ThE OtHErs? WhAt ArE yOu GiRls? PeRVErT? " she said in anger
( should i kill them all? oh, wait... ainz-sama told me not to do harm to these pathetic villagers... )
, lupusregina tried her best to hide her anger inside that voice but seemed like she's not good at hiding things actually...
" Then...wHy Do yoU ruN Away.?" she asked.
the womans look at each other they trembling with fear.. , and finally someone dare walk out of them and explain lupus.
" b...because..."
.
.
.
" heh?... because adel-san just slammed me on the table~?" lupusregina confused.
" y...y...yes, h... he... he is so scary s..so... we decide to...t...to get away..."
" ahh~ i see-su~ but don't need to be worry su~ that was just a joking~~ adel-san didn't really hit me~su"
the woman little bit confused, why did her voice change back to normal that fast? like something pleased her so much...
" ahhh~... as i expect~" they said to each other, " there's no way adel-san will be that kimd of perso-"
suddenly they startled again, because lupusregina changed her voice to a sadistic tone.
" But~ if you still keep on following him~ he would probably not joking anymore~ heh haee~ " lupusregina threatening them.
" may be~ MAY BE~ he could take your little head and slammed it to a tree~~ or even a wall on the house~ until your skull becomes an ash~su~ or...Or...Or~ he could put a forks in your eyes not to let you watching hi-"
" w...we're so sorry! Lupusregina-sama! w..we won't do it anymore! we promise...a..ah..ah w
...we need to go now...b..Bye! "
a group of woman ran away from lupusregina-beta in frightened, lupusregina didn't reply but she stared at them running away from her, and enri's house.
" heh~" she grinnned, suddenly ... a grinned became a smiled... then a smiled became a laughed ... her eyes brighted up in yellow, showing a sadistic face of lupusregina-beta, one of the pleiades maid.
" hehehehe...kekekekekkeke ..hahahaaaa~~~ now~ the insects have been ridded... hehe~ now there's no one to bother you adel-sama~~ he would be very pleased about this~~" she said, to her self.
but suddenly she stopped making a sadistic face, and back to normal, because she had just realized something.
"...oh...wait..." lupus was now considering at something,
" they saw adel-sama slammed me..eh... " she's now in thinking pose.
" wait a minute... ! Ahhhh~! " lupusregina eyes went wide, her mouth opened up,
A sense of understanding filled the air around her , and there were looks of admiration on her face.
" something was suspicious! i..i noticed it! this is the first time i noticed it!..." she yelled.
" I...I...i know it! i...i know it! finally! this is the first time i could reached adel-sama's plan..." lupusregina complained to herself.
" e...even i'm not the smartest like demiurge-sama or miss albedo... b... but ... " she was now trembling...
( this...is why... this is why adel-sama slammed my head on that table...he did a fake startled.. others may think that he really shocked at my jumpscares but...No! he wasn't... he just use my jumpscares to be a part of his plan.. oh..oh my god...i...it was his plan to banish those woman away! it was his plan all along...he ...he already threadtened them..! .. ah... he... .. he must use me to be a symbol of those woman... show them what will happen if they keep following him... adel-sama knows all along that he's been observed... adel-sama also knows that i will go find them... he don't need to order me because he know that i was about to..t...this is all according to his expectation?! ."
lupusregina put her hands over her head, meaning that she already ran out of steam from using her brain.
" G...G...G...Genius... ( shaking voice) ... adel-sama is a genius... " said in shaking voice.
" b...but ... even me could reached through this... t...this means... h...he didn't get serious!? ?! ...ah...a... he could throw me in his plans without no need to tell me...?...how awesome! he deserves to be ainz-sama children.
lupusregina ran out of words, she standing there in shocked, after she understood that she's being used all along.

" woah! "
" what's wrong? adel-sama?"
" uh..n...nothing, nfirea-san" adel replied,
( goosebumps? ... again? why i feel like someone has get me wrong? ... damn .. what happen to me ? may be i'm tired... ) adel thought,
" adel-sama, here. i'm so sorry for keeping you waiting. " said enri , she came back with a glass of water in her hand.
" oh, thank you! enri-san" adel received a glass of water from enri, he drank it.
suddenly, there's voice calling him
" hey... onee-chan"
it's a sound of a kid, it's " Agu "
" hm-? " adel looked at the goblin kid,
" yeah? what is it? little boy?" he asked.
( well, ...actually... i'm younger than him... ) adel thought.
" i'm not little boy! my name is agu! "
" oh, i'm sorry ... please forgive me...haha.." adel said.
" Agu! don't act so rude to him! " enri yelled.
" it's fine, enri-san. i don't mind" adel said.
" what is it? agu-san?"
" ..." agu looked like he wanted to ask adel something,
" h..." agu started to asked,
" how do you be with her?" agu asked.
" 'her?'... who did you mean? by that?"
" a woman with 2 red braids... onee-chan, she's the most dangerous ... person. in this village... normal people won't associate with her..." agu said.
( ***sniff*** i know, agu-san... i know... and i'm trying to... **sniff** i want to run away from her as far as i can...**sniff**) adel was crying inside.
" agu-san, don't look at her like that! she's not a cruel person, isn't she? comon, **slaps on agu's shoulder***, tell me why you think like that?" adel asked,
" she looks... dangerous... that's all i can tell, onee-chan... she looks so strong that she could ripped us off in to peices..." agu said, his body was shaking, adel noticed that, the other goblins too.
( *** sigh ***, it's usual to think like that...agu-san...) adel thought,
" ahh...agu-san, she just a joker... she loves to tease people doesn't she?, that's her nature, however, be open-up! . i promise... she wouldn't do anything harm to you" adel said, while his hand rubbing agu's head.
" whoa... onee-chan, seems like you're the only one who could stay with her! really ...who are you? i haven't seen you before... " agu asked.
" yeah, even i don't like him but need to admit that his spirit is really strong! " cona said,
" i'm just a pharmacist like nfirea-san overthere, ainz-sama sent me to work with him.. ahaha"
adel said, while gazing behind the goblins, he saw enri emmot walking away from the dining table, that made adel curious where she was going?
.
.
.
.
.
enri emmot, was now outside crowd of goblins,
she brought a-finish-dishes out of a dining table in to her house. it is 20:00 now, or could say it's 4 hours before mid night.
she placed the dishes on the sink, left it there in order to come back to clean it when the dinner is over.
she walked out of her house, to the village-hill alone.
maybe she wanted to stay with herself for a while.
enri could see a light from the dinning table, even a distance between a hill and her house is a little bit far.
a group of goblins were still eating, she could see nfirea from here, even lupusregina-beta too. but she couldn't spot adel, however, enri sured that adel must be among that group.
first she's worried if adel will please in her cooking or not, but the result today makes her happy.
she looked up at the sky, a cluster of stars are filled in the dark sky, it's very beautiful.
enri had been tried if she could count them all... but finally she had found that she couldn't.
" if mom and dad was here..."
somehow it reminds her about her parents, when she was a kid, they usually bring her here, to look up and enjoy counting a stars.
it's a simple activity in an average family, but filled with hapiness.
but now she couldn't... because her parents were all...
enri still regret about that time she saw her father got killed by slain's soilder infront of her face...
that image still hunts her nowadays, everytime she try to forget it... it keeps coming.
like a monster that will hunt her until the last day of her life.
like a plummet of her emotion that always makes she feels down.
Enri Sitting knee bent her head to her arms,
she felt something ... pressed her chest from the inside, she felt like something obstructed her from breathing a bit.
a water came out of her eyes.
she missed her parents.
she wanted them back,
she tried to encourage herself that she have nemu, goblins, and carne-village to look after...but sometime... she wanted to listen to her voice... deep down... inside her mind... she wanted her parents back.
" **sniff** " enri sniffed, but she didn't cry. a tears only came out a little.
" it's hard to forget right?"
" ! " enri startled. a voice behind her back startled her. first thought that come in her mind was lupusregina, trying to startle her again... but then she realized... lupusregina beta is a woman, but a voice behind her was a voice of man, she wipped up her tears and turned back her face to look at him, nfirea was still at the dinning table. so the only one who have enough skill to sneak behind her back was...
" Adel-sama?! "
" ... " adel didn't reply, shown himself in Imp form, he sit down next to her.
an appearance of adel attracts enri to stare at him without blinks, she understands why he so popular among carne-village-girls.
even it's dark, but a yellow bright color from adel's eyes { like albedo} could make enri knows that it's him.
" i've heard your story from father, enri-san" ,he said, " i'm sorry for your parents"
adel bowed his head down,
" t..t..thank you very much, adel-sama! y..y..you don't have to bow me!..." enri was impatient.
" so you trying to hide this from your friends hm?"
"..." enri didn't reply, she looked away,
" let's open up, enri-san. it is bad for you to keep it alone" said adel.
" h... h..how did you know, adel-sama?"
" ah... i'm so sorry enri-san, but... please forgive me, i noticed you walking out of a dinning table and were heading to this hill so... uh... i started follow you with invisibility... i'm know it's extremely inappropriate to do this...please forgive me! " adel bowed his head down again.
" i...i...it's fine! adel-sama, it's fine! " enri reached her hands out and grabbed adel's shoulder, to stop him from bowing.
" r..really?" adel asked,
" yeah, adel-sama" she replied, coming out of nowhere behind the back always makes enri startle, but adel is much more polite than lupusregina when he comes out.
" ahh... i'm glad that you forgive me, enri-san" he said
" anyway, ..." adel voice suddenly changed, from friendly to a cold blood people, that scared enri and made her startled. a silent... a pressure... filled all around the atmosphere
" does it depress you, enri-san? just ... to know... how alone... you really are?"
"... ... " enri didn't reply, but she nodded her head down.
" does it make you feel... responsible for.. doing your best to take care of nemu-san?"
" ...adel-sama... it was... so..so fast..that...i...i didn't know what to do..."
" but to protect nemu-san? right?" adel said.
" it...it was the only things in my head that time..., i thought i must... must... save her... " said enri.
" so... you must have passed that moment right? enri-san?"
" that moment..?" enri asked.
" while you were running away, from those soilders... you didn't think of your destination, did you? ... all you did was just... runing away... as far as you can... no matter where would you stop at, but only took your sister to anywhere... anywhere that was safe..." adel inhales before continued his words, " you had talked to the person you love most... you told her it was gonna be alright when you know it wasn't..."
enri looked down at her hands which are on her laps, even she wanted to know how did adel know this? but she kept listening to adel anyway.
" have you imagine if my father wasn't there, what would happen?" adel stared at enri, looking in to her eyes.
" ... " enri didn't answer, and she tried not to think of it if it's really happen.
" have you... think that The fickle finger of fate works in strange ways? why did it happen to you, or why did it needs to be your parents" adel asked.
" y...ye...yes... " she replied.
" then you are wrong"
" eh-..? "
adel replied made enri confused.
" fate doesn't exist, enri-san... never. only fools believe this kind of things"
adel moved closer to enri, his eyes staring at her, showing his sincerity.
" the only things exist is you DO it, or Don't. that's all it has, enri-san. just take a look for that... holy~ uh.., spirit god, they pray every morning?...where is he when a soilders invade your village? hm? where is he when you need him the most? " adel asked, that made enri stunned. because her village believes in god, but what adel just said made her start thinking.
" your parents death is not your fault... , it was them... those soilders..."
" you said you believe in fate...eh?...but no... enri-san, you're wrong"
" it's not about the fate or a god, enri-san. all about is You have PLANS ... or not" adel said.
" p...plans?"
" um-hm, plans are the most powerful weapons in this world,enri-san. powerful than uh...10 or 1000 or 100000 tier magics." said adel.
" ..." enri eyes went windened, adel continuied his words.
" you know what you were that time?, you were a dog chasing the flying bird , you just don't really know where is it going to end... you know? you just... DO...Things..."
" the slain has plans, those soilders have plans... ... they're all have plans... father's also got plans... you know, they are schemers..." adel mentioned his father, ainz, in order to make an example to enri to make his words more obvious.
" purpose of schemers are to control things ... you know what will happen if the greatest schemer meets an unstoppable strenght? " adel asked.
" a...ainz ooal gown-sama?" enri said, because the only person who have these 2 things to her is ainz Ooal gown.
" um-hm, plans are as important as strenght.." adel said.
" you weren't a schemer... you didn't have plans... and look where that got you ..." adel said
suddenly a memory from overlord Vol.1, 8, 9 pops up in enri's mind, 2 of 3 don't have any plans as adel said, even her village had won prince brabro invasion but it is because of her items, that can calls out up to 5000 goblins or can tell in the other way that it was a physical advantage only.
" however, enri-san. plans need no rules," adel said
" e...eh...? b...but...but even if the plans is ... conflict to ...morality?" enri asked.
" i've heard from father, about the greatest 41 people, one of them is a goat ... he's my another idol, i respect the way he makes plans. morality and rights couldn't be eaten. it just made a society... likeable to live in" said adel.
enri eyes went wide,
( ahhh...! i see... now i'm already know what lupusregina-sama wanted to tell me that time! she said everyone makes a mistake {in overlord season 3 episode 3 when enri is worrying about her new position to be village cheif} ... it is because they'e not... a schemers... adel-sama came to explain her words...)
enri was considering, but then...
" Adel-sama! what is this!? -su!? you're sitting with en-chan one to one?! "
" ! " adel startled to a third sound calling his name from his back, it's lupusregina beta.
but enri didn't because she's still considering at what adel had said to her.
" en-chan! why do you do this?!-su?! you already have nfi-chan! " she was very impatient
" waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah ...adel-samaaaa... **sniff** i'm not good enough for you...? " lupusregina hugged adel's neck, brought her face closer to adel's face,
( yo, why did she has to make her sound like a crying baby?! )
adel thought, while his body was trembling with fear again.
enri sitting and watching them just realized.
(when did adel-sama changed his form back to undead?) she thought.
because she just noticed that when lupusregina came out of their back, adel was already in his undead form ( skeleton)
" we just having a disscussion, lupusregina-san" enri normally said.
" a disscussion of what?! " lupusregina asked while her arms were still hugging adel's neck.
" you don't need to know it beta-sama, it's her personal problems! " adel grabbed lupus arms
and put it out off his neck
" ehhhhhhh?! b...b..but..." lupusregina tried to make an arguement, but adel immediately interrupted her.
" in the name of father's successor, . beta-sama. i swear, it is nothing special! and not what you're thinking right now too! " adel said.
" it's LUPU!~~~ " lupusregina yelled at adel
" alright, alright lupu! "
" adel-sama... i've just noticed that lupusregina-san is a kind of jealously..." enri whispered to adel.
" **sigh*** well, happens to the best of us" adel said.
